    Purchased this for one of the rooms and its perfect. Not too big or small and sound coming out of this little guy is pretty loud. Easy step by step instructions on how to install in case youve never set one up. A must for home automation. I also like that it has the sliding camera for the camera. I think this small privacy feature is something that all camera devices like this should have. Satisfied with my purchase and would definitely recommend.

    Nice Way To Have Alexa

    We bought two of these on sale. They are nice replacements for two echo dots. It's nice to have video to supplement whatever Alexa is telling you. This is a good quality product but best next to the bed or on a desk due to the small display. In a big room, it is hard to read what is on the screen. When it is streaming video, the quality is good. It has a camera which can be covered up via a slide switch on top. We hooked them up to external speakers and they both work well. This can be done via either an audio output jack or bluetooth. My wife noted that they are slightly slower than the dots they replaced in responding but with video, they have more to do. If you get this on sale, then you are getting a lot for the price. It's a nice upgrade from the dot.

    I love having the Echo Show 5 on my nightstand in my bedroom. It’s so easy to set your alarm even if you’re already in bed. Plus I have it set for Alexa to tell me the weather, traffic, and morning news when I wake up. Also, I love that I was able to sync it with my Spotify account and just simply tell Alexa to play a song or playlist on Spotify. The one star deduction is that Alexa doesn’t always understand a phrase you’re saying and it can be really frustrating - especially when you’re just waking up or going to sleep, but I’m still getting the hang of it and the pros FAR outweigh the cons. The price was unbeatable to comparable competitors. I definitely recommend it for an alarm clock, an accent to a kitchen counter, or desk.

    Great quality item and purchasing it as same day in store pick up was fast (it was ready within 30 mins of ordering). It’s direct rival is the Lenovo smart clock and this blows it out of the water, better display and sound, plus a bevy of functions it even has a slide front camera blocker for privacy. If I could find a complaint it would be that it doesn’t get as loud. I have it connected to my audioengine speakers to alleviate that.

    So much fun and just makes everything a little easier! I wake up and ask Alexa to start my day. I can start with music, affirmations, exercise, the weather...the sky seems to be the limit (no pun intended). The sound is very nice, and I can adjust the speaker balance as well. The screen is crystal clear, beautiful pictures, and it is so easy to use. I like it so much, that my next purchase will be one with the 8" screen!

    What can I say, these Alexa smart assistant devices, WITH a 5" screen are awesome. Sure, the regular Echo Dots were nice, but add a screen and good sound, and they're super. We bought 2 to replace our Echo dots and have one in the kitchen and a second room which cover most audible spots. I love asking random questions beyond just the weather and traffic, such as recommendations for what to cook and whats on TV and really like it. For the price, you can't beat it.

    Purchased Three More

    After using the newer Echo Show 5 for a month or two, purchased three more for the rest of my family scattered across the map. Easy to setup and easy to use, now my 5 year old granddaughter can start a video call with us when she wants to. My elderly father feels better connected to his children and grand kids. This device has been an all around winner. One consideration on the Show 5: the front screen and camera have a slight backward tilt, so it matters where you place it in your home. Put on a shelf or table too high and the camera will see only the ceiling, too low and say hello to your knees. Kitchen counter height is about right if you will use it standing, table height if you will use it sitting. In our living room the end tables were a bit to high and on calls we were on camera only mid-throat and up! It actualy took us a few tries to find a placement that had both a good camera angle and comfortable standing / sitting for video calls.

    Awesome device only issue is the software is a little janky. But it has many uses and can come in handy in numerous ways. Controlling lights, alarm clock, watching YouTube videos,listening to music, video chatting, ability to peep in from camera on other devices when your not home. It’s a great little device. The software does have issue from time to time. Also the adds and other things they try to sneak in on you. That you can go in the settings and turn off. But from time to time after updates you will see adds and recommendations again. The only two cons I really have.

    First time using an Alexa-enabled device (took me awhile to stop calling her ‘Hey Siri’. Finding it much more versatile than expected. Great for video chatting with the grandkids, also great dining music (“Alexa, play soft instrumental music”). And I haven’t even explored linking to other Smart devices except Rumba, which paired easily. Really like the option of turning off the microphone and/or the camera to ensure privacy when warranted. Highly recommended!
